Vegan Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Step 1

Place spinach, basil, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes in the bottom of a pasta strainer.

Step 2

Cook the orzo according to package directions.

Step 3

When ready to drain, pour the whole pot of orzo with the water over the veggies in the bottom of the pasta strainer. This will slightly cook them.

Put the pot top over the strainer to steam the veggies. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Rinse with hot water to remove starchiness from the pasta then drain well and place everything in a big bowl or back in the pot.

Step 6

Add the chickpeas, oil, basil, seasonings, and feta into the bowl/pot and mix until well combined.

Serve!
